lead: We help other government agencies build, buy, and share technology products. | ||

||
18F is an office within the [General Services Administration](https://www.gsa.gov/) (GSA). | ||
|
||
We've worked with over 50 offices and agencies, on more than 200 engagements. All our projects support agencies in transforming how they deliver digital services and technology products. | ||
|
||
## Our principles | ||
|
||
We strive to work in a modern way and use best practices on all our projects. Here's what that means to us: | ||

<div class="icon-list-text"> | ||
<p class="paragraph-bold">Respect for government workers</p> | ||
<p>Civil servants have tremendous knowledge about what it takes to achieve their agency’s mission. We help clear technical and governmental hurdles to better serve the public.</p> | ||

<div class="icon-list-text"> | ||
<p class="paragraph-bold">Human-centered design</p> | ||
<p>We listen to real users to understand their needs and build things that will be useful to them — without sacrificing technical or regulatory requirements.</p> | ||

<div class="icon-list-text"> | ||
<p class="paragraph-bold">Agile methods</p> | ||
<p>We help you move faster and adopt new approaches that reduce risk on your projects. We pay careful attention to what succeeds, and use metrics and feedback to inform what we build.</p> | ||

<div class="icon-list-text"> | ||
<p class="paragraph-bold">Open technology</p> | ||
<p>Our projects are designed and built in public. That means open source, open data, and open APIs. Working transparently helps us develop faster, make better decisions, provide code for many others to reuse, and keep costs low.</p> | ||

## Our team | ||
|
||
We are a team of about 200 designers, software engineers, strategists, and product managers — all federal employees. We have offices in DC, San Francisco, Chicago, and New York, as well as team members working remotely from all over the country. | ||
|
||

||
## History and funding | ||
|
||
In March 2014, a group of [Presidential Innovation Fellows](https://presidentialinnovationfellows.gov/) started 18F to extend their efforts to improve and modernize government technology. | ||
|
||
In 2016, 18F became part of the [Technology Transformation Service](https://www.gsa.gov/tts) (TTS), which also includes the Presidential Innovation Fellows program, the Office of Acquisitions, and the [Office of Products and Programs](https://www.gsa.gov/portal/content/124174). Like GSA's other services (the Federal Acquisition Service and the Public Building Service), TTS provides tools, services, and resources to help other agencies serve the public. | ||
|
||
**What does 18F mean?** | ||
|
||
Our name is short for the address of the GSA building where we're headquartered in Washington, DC: 1800 F Street. | ||
|
||
### Funding and agreements | ||
|
||
We are cost-recoverable, which means we don't receive appropriated funds from Congress and must charge partner agencies for our work. There are two authorities we use to recover costs: | ||
|
||
- Acquisition Services Fund (ASF) reimbursement authority: for work related to acquisitions | ||
- [Economy Act (PDF)](http://www.gc.noaa.gov/documents/mou-economyact.pdf) reimbursement authority: for projects that cannot use ASF reimbursement authority | ||
|
||
We use [Interagency Agreements](https://pages.18f.gov/iaa-forms/) (IAAs) to set up the terms of our projects, and bill partners through [Intra-Governmental Payment and Collection](https://www.fiscal.treasury.gov/fsservices/gov/acctg/ipac/ipac_home.htm) (IPAC) on a monthly basis. | ||
|

## For press | ||
|
||
For all press inquiries, please email [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]?Subject=18F%20Media%20Query) with the topic you’d like to talk about and your deadline. | ||
|
||
The GSA Office of Strategic Communications handles all press questions and can connect you with the proper people at 18F and the Technology Transformation Service. See the [GSA newsroom](https://www.gsa.gov/portal/category/26627) for news releases and official resources. | ||
